One short, hard bump — and a noise much bigger than the damage. A fist on a nose, a board on the ground, a bag on a bench: the word can be read as that moment of contact written down. Every use points back to it, changing only who receives the bump and which way it travels.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary marks biff as onomatopoeic: the word started as the noise of the impact, and the verb, the noun and the comic-book shout are all that noise put to work.
Wiktionary 記 biff 是擬聲詞：先有拳頭打中東西的那一聲，動詞、名詞和漫畫裡的大字都是從那一聲來的。
